And ol' Activision games might be perfect, says the toy company.
Hasbro is looking forward to Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard and is hoping Activision’s old Transformers games will get the Xbox Game Pass treatment when the dust has settled.
Activision is behind a number of games with myriad licensed titles including the likes of Spider-Man, Star Trek and, of course, Hasbro’s Transformers.
Speaking at San Diego Comic-Con, Hasbro detailed its hopes to Transformer World 2005.
“Sadly, apparently Activision’s not sure what hard drives they’re on in their building,” Hasbro said in relation to old licensed games. “When a company eats a company that eats a company things get lost, and that’s very frustrating.
“Hope is that now that the deal is moving forward with Microsoft and Xbox that they’ll go through all of the archives and every hard drive to find it all, because it’s an easy Game Pass add. We want those games back up for people to have a chance to play.”
A number of Activision Transformers titles were delisted back in 2017 and include the likes of Transformers War for Cybertron, Transformers Fall of Cybertron and Transformers Devastation (pictured above).
A new title called Transformers Reactivate has nothing to do with Activision; it’s currently in development by Dirty Bomb and Splash Damage and is planned for a future release on PC and consoles.
